Business Strategy or Tactics: The #1 Reason Solopreneurs Get Stuck

Years ago, I believed that posting daily on social media and cranking out blogs meant I was executing a strategy. 

Most of us have been there faithfully ticking all the boxes: Instagram posts, networking events, blog posts, and waiting for results that never seem to arrive. 

It's frustrating, especially when you're working solo. I realized I was chasing tactics without a clear strategy, leading the way."

In this episode of Amplify Your Authority, I explain the critical difference between strategy and tactics. 

You'll know how to self-audit your marketing, avoid common mistakes, and align your efforts so that every action supports your long-term vision.
